Family Dentistry
Finding a good dentist can be difficult, especially if you are looking for a dentist to service the whole family. That’s why here at Smiles by Rizzo, our staff goes above and beyond to create a welcoming atmosphere where your family will feel right at home. After completing his residency in New Jersey, Dr. Rizzo decided to stay and practice right here in Carlstadt, NJ. As a proud member of the community, he joined local organizations New Jersey Dental Association and Bergen County Dental Society. In doing so, Dr. Rizzo is always up to date with the latest practices in family dentistry. This allows him to serve his patients of all ages as best as possible.
Although many people stick to their local dentist, it is not uncommon for our patients outside of Carlstadt to make quite a drive to see us – a small sacrifice to pay to see their favorite family dentist!
What Our Client Says
★★★★★
I have never had a great feeling about dentists and their offices until I was referred to your office by my Mom. It has been a great experience to see Dr. Rizzo and his staff as they work together to provide me the best care with their great knowledge, skill, thoughtfulness, caring, and making me feel better each time I visit. I must admit that Dr. Rizzo is the best and Nuria is my favorite dental hygienist. My gums have never been better with her tender and loving care. Have a great day!

It is no secret that most of us do not like going to the dentist. In fact, many people go years without even a check-up or cleaning. Some reasons for avoiding the dentist include:
Sedation dentistry has been around for over 100 years, and has continued to evolve over the last 40 years as more options are made available to patients. In order to perform sedation, dentists are required to become accredited and complete additional training. However, its widespread acceptance and use has come about more slowly than medical sedation.
While it is common practice to be sedated by doctors for medical procedures, for some time there has been the misconception that routine dental work is not uncomfortable enough to justify the use of sedation. Fortunately, dental sedation is now used worldwide. It has proven to be a safe and effective option for a variety of patients and procedures.
Depending on the extent of the work being done and the needs of the individual patient, we offer three different methods of sedation:
With conscious sedation, most patients describe feeling as though they have “slept” through the appointment. Those who have had nitrous oxide sedation often compare it to feeling like they are “floating” or to having had a few glasses of wine. The oral sedatives have a similar effect, depending on the type of pill and dosage. All three sedation methods will allow you to communicate with your dentist during the procedure. Throughout the appointment, your doctor will closely monitor your vital signs and overall comfort level.
If you are sedated you will need someone to bring you to our office on the day of your appointment. Also, you MUST make sure you have someone to take you home afterward.
